Role of Stem Cells in the Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Transplantation for Fertility Preservation

Although the cancer survival rate has increased, cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can cause ovarian failure and infertility in women of reproductive age. Preserving fertility throughout cancer treatment is critical for maintaining quality of life. Fertility experts should...
